Chief Anthony Enahoro, was one of the great Nigeria's most foremost pro-democracy, and anti-colonial master. He was the eldest among the ten children in Uromi in the present Edor state of Nigeria.

Anthony Enahoro has had a long and a very successful career that I admire so much in the press, politics, the civil service and the pro-democracy movement. He started his education at the Government School Uromi, Government School Owo and King's College, Lagos, and became the editor of Nnamdi Azikiwe's newspaper, the Southern Nigerian Defender, Ibadan, in the year 1944 at the age of 21, thus becoming Nigeria's youngest editor ever.

He was very prominent in politics that brought rapid change. He was jailed twice for hate speech by the colonial government, for an article mocking a former governor, and then for a speech allegedly encouraged Nigerian troops serving in the British army. The British marked him as a firebrand, even after his jailed he still takeover his position.

Anthony was the chairman of a Democratic Coalition a pro-democracy group that fought dictator Sani Abacha. Anthony was conferred with the national honour of Commander, Order of the Federal Republic, CFR, in 1982, and is the chairman of the Movement for National Reformation, MNR; as well as the Pro-National Conference organization. He was also awarded with honorary DSC by the University of Benin in 1972. Anthony was a delegate to most of the constitutional conferences leading to the independence of Nigeria in 1960, that Nigerians are enjoying today.

Thank You
